geoff_nicholls Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Sorry if this has been highlighted already: I suspect most Early Railways modellers don't normally browse Garden Rail, but the July issue is worth checking out. There's an article by, David Viewing, explaining how he uses 3D printing methods to produce some very nice gauge 1 models of railways of the 1830s-1840s. Even if you're turned off by the CAD discussion, there are a few inspiring photos. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Phil Parker Posted July 13, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 13, 2019 It's a fascinating article, which is why I gave over more space than ever before to a single piece. To be honest, the text was so well written, I couldn't see any way of cutting anything out to make it shorter. It's also an excellent look at 3D printing with results that will make people interested in having a go. Get in quick though, the next issue is out on Thursday! 7 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff_nicholls Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 I got David to blow up a couple of his Bury locos to gauge 3 for me, for my planned 1840s/50s ECR/LNWR layout 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 14, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2019 Does he offer them on Shapeways? It’s a cracking article but I can’t see me investing in a new pc and 3D printer to have a go but I might be tempted to have one to run on my G scale track if they are done commercially 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check with him if he's offering them generally 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Lodge Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) This is surely a conspiracy, this steady drip-feeding of quality versions of the Bury locos and even Harvey Combe but all in large scales. What future do my own attempts at EM versions hold in the face of this onslaught? Grrr!! Edited July 14, 2019 by Boston Lodge 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
